ASEAN member countries have made unconfined progress in improving wangle to vital education with student enrolments increasing and dropout rates falling. However, for the ASEAN region to take full wholesomeness of its projected economic growth and transition into higher value-added knowledge economy work, governments in the region need to protract to develop their countries human wanted and workforce skills. This will require ongoing investment in education, TVET, minutiae of cross-cutting STEM skills, soft skills, and lifelong learning. As countries in ASEAN move up the knowledge chain, the rencontre will be to develop workforce skills in innovation and R&D. The top education opportunities in ASEAN are: Early Years Schools Higher Education (TNE and international students going to the UK) TVET Education Technology ELT Lifelong Learning & Continual ProfessionalMinutiaeEarly Years Early years’ child care, development, and education have been increasingly undisputed by experts, policy makers, governments and parents as a hair-trigger foundation for children’s development. In ASEAN uptake in early year’s child superintendency and pre-schooling has traditionally been low. However, in recent years the market in ASEAN has been growing at an exponential rate considering of a number of factors: increasing economic and household wealth and removable income; increasingly women joining the workforce; less worthiness to rely on extended family networks for childcare and increased sensation of the importance of early years education. This has led both governments and parents to invest increasing amounts in early years’ child superintendency and pre-school education. Schools The upper potential for growth in Southeast Asia’s education market is well supported by the large school-age population and restrictedly low enrolment rates, particularly at the pre-primary and tertiary levels. School-age children in Southeast Asia constitute scrutinizingly 33% of the region’s total population of 625 million people; nearly double that in the US (17%). Southeast Asia has approximately 208 million school-age children and based on gross enrolment rates the region’s school-age population stands at virtually 154 million, with 117 million students peekaboo public schools/institutions and 37 million going to private schools/institutions. Rising income levels have driven demand for largest schools with world-class infrastructure and international curriculums. Emerging markets in the region are expected to contribute to the upper demand for education, specifically speaking, countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam where income levels are increasing. Higher Education The growth of private higher education in Asia has been much increasingly rapid than in other parts of the world. This growth has helped to expand wangle to higher education and to reduce the undersong on governments to finance higher education through public funds.WidenessAsia, increasingly than 35% of higher education students enrol in the private sector, and scrutinizingly 60% of the region’s higher education institutions are private. The UK are market leaders in the provision of transnational education in the ASEAN region, with Malaysia the most popular location, home to five UK university workshop campuses, increasingly than any other country in the world. The ASEAN region is moreover a significant source of international students to the UK, with Malaysia then the market leader with over 17,000 Malaysian students studying in the UK per annum. TVET Demand for TVET in ASEAN is considered significant and likely to grow substantially in the future. Governments have under-invested in TVET due to lack of demand, and as a consequence, the ASEAN educational system has not kept pace with either the number of people that now need to be trained in technical skills; nor have they kept pace with the rapid shifts in the types of skills that are required expressly in “hot” sectors such as engineering and IT. ASEAN member countries are therefore committing increasing resources into education and training to provide a workforce with the necessary skills needed for merchantry and industry. Education Technology Technological uptake is faster than overly before. It took 75 years for the telephone to be unexplored by 50 million users and only 35 days for the Angry Birds computer game to be unexplored by the same number of users. Technology is driving up demand for technically skilled workers and education technology is stuff integrated wideness the education sector Key trends include increased spending in ICT, Smart schools, education services delivered through mobile applications, online courses, education technology solutions such as E-books, simulation and gaming education and learning management systems. ELT In 2009, English was chosen as the official lingua franca of the ASEAN region. In many countries in the region, English language proficiency has moved from stuff an aspirational skill to an essential requirement in the job market. Students and parents in ASEAN place a upper value on learning English, particularly in markets such as Thailand and Vietnam, where the public curricula may not offer English-learning opportunities. Lifelong Learning & Continual ProfessionalMinutiaeIn response to the world’s socio-economic challenges, governments wideness the world including in ASEAN have turned to lifelong learning as the key to both a skilled and adaptive workforce and a increasingly equitable and cohesive society. Although the ASEAN region reconfirmed its transferral to support lifelong in its 2015 ASEAN Charter, there are still in practice significant gaps in the conceptualisation, implementation, and wordage of lifelong learning services. As ASEAN countries move up the value uniting and a knowledge-driven economy, there are increasingly professionals in the workforce requiring continual professional development.
